Freeform jazz with 7 minute mixolydian shred solos :o


And I thought my band had some diverse styles! :p



Actually....our temporary bassist likes 'jazz' (or so he says), I play almost anything, but mostly Vai/Petrucci/Satriani style stuff, the other guitar player plays Malmsteen and classical stuff, one singer is a rapper, I've never met the drummer, and the other 'maybe' singer likes Oasis and Japanese pop music. :D


This band is either going to be brilliant, or it's going to be a humiliation. Either way, should be fun. :D

At the moment I'm not playing pro, but in the past I've played piano professionally solo, in chamber groups / bands and in orchestras. I've also played the oboe semi-professionally but not quite so much.

As for styles, I'm classically-trained but have a go at pretty much everything. My big interest at the moment is jazz, but I tend to ignore genres and styles so bits of it will sound like weird fruity electronic and other bits like Bach ;)

On piano, classical and a bit of blues.

On voice, classical. Though I haven't sung since secondary school where we had a brilliant music teacher and singing tutor.

Me and 3 friends > the entire girls' choir :cool:

In places, but probably closer to Autechre. I'm not as clever, though - and mine is entirely improvised these days. Recording is far too much effort :)

Guitar (electric and acoustic):

Hendrix, General blues messing around.
Some small dollops of jazzy jamming.
Then I do some Django Reinhardt stuff, fingerstyle acoustic, slapstyle acoustic(my teacher takes pop songs and puts all the parts into one guitar piece (bass, guitar, vocals) and creates his version of them for me. I say pop, stuff like hotel california etc).
A band called Extreme. Also, Minus the Bear is fun stuff to play.

Fun stuff :) Not into metal (+ I can't do it at all.)


Really wanting a Roland GR-20 for some variation.

EDIT: Forgot funk! :(
